Discover Venice Through an Insider’s Lens

Experiences

Located near the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and Punta della Dogana Contemporary Art Museums, our hotel is the perfect starting point for exploring Venice. Whether you’re seeking a cultural discovery, a taste of delicious Italian cuisine, fine artisan crafts, or a dolce vita Riva boat tour to the islands, Venice has something for everyone, with unmissable events throughout the year: from Carnevale, the Biennale of Art in Venice, to the Redentore Festival, without forgetting the Venice Film Festival. Take a stroll to St. Mark's Square to explore its Basilica and Palazzo Ducale followed by afternoon tea in a historic cafè; attend a première at La Fenice Opera House, and cross the Grand Canal to visit Dorsoduro Museum Mile and art galleries. Book a cooking class at The Gritti Epicurean School and browse the Rialto markets, pausing in a traditional bacaro to taste cicchetti and Prosecco; set off on a Riva Yacht Experience, or pamper your soul with a luxury spa treatment at The Gritti SPA.
